    What is everyone’s preference for a great burger grind? I’ve heard just chuck, to mixes including brisket, short rib and chuck, etc… Would love to hear your favorites.

    I ain’t scared.

        skibumben I am a promoter of ground brisket. I trim about 2 lbs of the fat cap off. The flavor is excellent. There is a big vein of hard fat inside the brisket. Do use all of this fat. I have 1/3 lb patty make and this makes a man sized burger. Our local grocer Kroger had Brisket for $2.99 lb. a 16 lb brisket usually yields 30-34 patties. if you want to dress the flavor more yet try 2 TBSP of chopped up bone marrow per 2 lbs of ground brisket.

          skibumben When stuffing snack sticks or sausage I always took the left over amount int he bottom of the stuffer and made apatty out of it, I always loved it and started to suspect that i liked Pork more than beef in my burgers. I did some testing and found that my favorite is a 70/30 mix of beef chuck to pork shoulder with some beef bone marrow added in! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDJTDkLqdQg if you want to see it

          Pay no attention to the fact that 70/30 plus bone marrow is over 100%…math was never my strong suit.

              I got some tri-tips on sale for $2.97 lb. and decided to see what it would be like as burger. I trimmed the fat cap off and weighed it out for 85/15 mix. It’s a course burger and a little dry so next time I’ll increase the fat to 80/20 and see how it is. These were select grade beef so I didn’t feel guilty about grinding it up. Might try using pork fat instead of the beef trimmings next time as well.

                Randyman since this virus nonsense I’ve made quite a bit of my own grind since the store never has what I want these days. Tri-tip whole is usually good price but yes the meat is fairly lean. My husband prefers either 90/10 or 93/7. I mixed about 6 lbs of home ground tri-tip with 3 lbs of store bought 85/15 and it looks great. Myself I prefer 80/20. I also ground about 6 lbs of bottom round last weekend and that was very lean lol. the hubby had to put butter on those burgers lol

                  Well, it depends on what you are grinding it for.
